First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chahan's brilliant move is finally ready to come out.

He intends to make peace with Daming.

"Chahan is quite smart. That's true. As long as we don't fight, he will be able to suppress Polo Timur and monopolize the power of the Yuan court with his superior force. No one can stop him."

But he clearly misjudged the situation.

"Chahan is only a general after all, and his vision has limited him... My lord, our chances of winning have increased again!" Zhang Ximeng said happily.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded slightly.

But Zhang Ximeng thought of another thing, "My lord, could it be that you expected that Chahan would not be able to withdraw his troops smoothly, and Polo Timur would hinder him?" Zhang Ximeng was surprised, because not only him, but also Zhu Sheng, both of them felt that the time for a decisive battle was not so ripe. If Chahan chose to withdraw his troops, all the arrangements would come to naught.

But the problem is that if Zhu Yuanzhang can calculate that Chahan will not be able to return to the north smoothly, and will have to fight against Ming Dynasty on both sides of the Yellow River, then this realm will be too extraordinary.

When did Lao Zhu become so powerful?

How come no one told me?

Xu felt the astonishment and admiration in Zhang Ximeng's eyes, and Lao Zhu was greatly benefited, and the taste was wonderful.

But Lao Zhu also knew that this was not the time to pretend, and any misunderstanding could lead to misjudgment... So he decided to tell the truth to Zhang Ximeng.

"We have seen the infighting in the Yuan court, but... what we are thinking about is the emperor Yuan and the crown prince, and their father and son have turned against each other!"

Lao Zhu and Zhang Ximeng told the truth, which also led to the story of the most filial son in the world, the prince of Dayuan, Aiyou and Li Dala.

Aiyou Shili Dala's mother is the concubine Qi of Goryeo. It stands to reason that he is not from the old Mongolia Zhengjinqi, so he is not qualified to be the prince.

But his luck was very good. Yuan Ting's brutal internal strife, coupled with the early death of the queen's son, gave him a chance to climb up.

Moreover, Aiyou Shili Dala is very easy to learn, and he is a famous questioner in the royal family.

He grew up in Tuotuo's mansion since he was a child, and Tuotuo often hugged the prince and galloped on horses... In order to cultivate Ai Youzhi Li Dala, he invited the best teachers and tried his best to instill knowledge.

He explained the "Book of Filial Piety" to him, compiled teaching materials, and taught him books such as Zhenguan and important officials.

It can be said that all kinds of kung fu were used on him.

In this way, what have I learned, is it better than blue than blue?

Obviously, things are not that simple.

At the beginning, Tuotuo had prevented Aiyou Shili Dala from being conferred as the crown prince. Tuotuo's reason was very simple. The emperor was not too old, and the queen could still give birth. Why rush to establish a bastard?

As a result, just because of this sentence, Tuotuo was killed in a catastrophe.

When Ha Ma was killed by Tuotuo, Aiyou Shili Dala, his mother, and Empress Qishi of Korea all made great efforts, which finally led to the dismissal of Tuotuo.

He destroyed the last pillar of their Great Yuan Dynasty with one shot. This kid is really promising and worth cultivating. When he encounters something that harms Great Yuan, he is really good!

After successfully killing Tuotuo, Aiyou Shili Dala still spared no effort to go farther and farther on the road to the Great Yuan Dynasty... He felt that the dog father was incompetent and had to give up the throne, following the example of Song Huizong and the inner Zen throne.

Obviously, it is impossible for anyone with a little brain to agree to this kind of thing.

Then Aiyou Shili Dala colluded with his mother and Pu Buhua, the eunuch who also came from Korea, and colluded with each other, and kept killing the last loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world in the south, and Aiyou Shili Dala worked diligently in the north.

Just bullying the Yuan Dynasty so hard at him, thinking that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's lost flesh and blood!

Otherwise, how could outsiders be so filial!

These things involve court secrets, and it is difficult for outsiders to know. Where did Zhu Yuanzhang hear about it?

Don't forget, didn't Aiyou Shili Dala live in Tuotuo Mansion when she was a child!

He and Tuotuo's son Harazhang are playmates and childhood friends.

As a result, Tuotuo was killed, and Harazhang, like his uncle Timur, went to Daming's side.

Soon Lao Zhu had internal news about Yuan Ting.

Ha La Zhang guides the way, Lao Zhu An inserts people, carefully bribes, and scouts for information... Zhang Ximeng doesn't even know about this spy.

This matter has nothing to do with trust, but the level of authority is different, and it is impossible for everyone to know.

According to the latest news, Aiyou Shili Dala hooked up with Chahan again, hoping to use Chahan's power to realize his grand ambition to force his father to abdicate.

Lao Zhu judged that as long as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had a little brain, he would not let Chahan go north smoothly.

Those Mongolian nobles in Beijing will also try their best to stop Chahan.

Seeing it or not, this is why Lao Zhu dared to fight decisively.

He can grasp the secrets inside the Yuan court.

But to be honest, Lao Zhu only thought that there would be objections from noble civil servants, and the Emperor Yuan would refuse... But exhausting Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination, he did not expect that it was Polo Timur who directly sent troops to Jining and stabbed Chahan in the back .

It can only be said that a thriving country cannot understand how outrageous and suffocating operations will occur when the country is subjugated.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Ximeng felt that the odds of winning had reached [-]%.

"My lord, Ji Ning has changed hands. Chahan's road to go north to Shanxi has been blocked. Now there is only one road left. If he can take it, Chahan will have to fight us to the death in Henan! At that time , Chahan will be defeated!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said, "Sir, are you talking about Guanzhong?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded.

Old Zhu stared at the map again, pondering for a long time, "I'm afraid it won't work. Tongguan is guarded by Chahan's heavy troops, so it won't be easy to take it."

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Tongguan is not necessarily necessary. As long as a knife is cut on this main road, tens of thousands of horses will be found, and they will not dare to return to Guanzhong rashly."

Lao Zhu frowned, and then said, "What do you mean, sir?"

"here!"

Zhang Ximeng put his finger on Shanzhou!

Lao Zhu pondered over and over again, and finally nodded slowly. The monarch and his ministers reached a consensus again, and a plan to close the door and beat the dog finally took shape.

Zhang Ziming was in charge of contacting Chahan to solve the problem of Aruwen, so he was able to go to Nanyang smoothly to deliver the decree to Feng Guoyong.It is rare for the two Ming armies to transmit news in this way.

Feng Guoyong got Lao Zhu's will, put it on the fire and roasted it, and the hidden will came.

"Seize Shanzhou, use the most elite force to garrison Shanzhou, resist Chahan and Li Siqi's attack, in order to win the decisive battle, persist until victory!"

When Feng Guoyong saw this plan, it actually coincided with his idea, and he was overjoyed.

But who can take on such a difficult task?

He subconsciously looked at his brother Feng Guosheng, but at this moment, Zhu Wenzheng, who had just arrived, stood up.

"Let me go!"

Feng Guo shook his head subconsciously, but before he could say anything, Zhu Wenzheng said: "I am the nephew of the superior, and life or death in this battle is uncertain... It is unreasonable for the Zhu family not to rush forward and let others go. Governor Feng, You choose eight thousand elite soldiers for me, and I will leave immediately!"

Chapter 466 The General Mobilization

Feng Guoyong looked at Zhu Wenzheng, and his heart surged again and again... There is no doubt that letting this superior nephew attack Shanzhou can boost morale, but at the same time, if it fails, or Zhu Wenzheng is damaged, the consequences will be more serious. Not something he can bear.How to make a decision is really difficult.

"Governor Feng, at this point, is it still necessary to look forward and backward?" Zhu Wenzheng suddenly said: "In this decisive battle in the Central Plains, with millions of soldiers and horses, Zhu Wenzheng is just a pawn in the Ming Dynasty, life and death are irrelevant. If the governor is suspicious Indefinitely, it will delay the opportunity of battle and ruin the overall situation. At that time, the governor will not only miss Ming Dynasty, but also the world, what face will you have, facing the history of thousands of years?"

Feng Guoyong was startled, and suddenly said: "Commander Zhu, I'm not thinking about that! I just want to ask you, can you go to Shanzhou with you?"

Zhu Wenzheng chuckled, "No one is more suitable than me!"

Feng Guoyong hesitated again, at this time Guo Xing suddenly stood up and reminded in a low voice: "Great Governor, his tent is full of Mongolian soldiers!"

In a word, Feng Guoyong was taken aback.Only then did he recall that the troops commanded by Zhu Wenzheng were the Mongolian captives in the bloody battle against Ni Wenjun in Tongling... After that battle, Lao Zhu selected more than 5000 people and organized them into the Guangwu Army. Serve as commander.

In other words, Zhu Wenzheng has an advantage that no one can match. He can use his subordinates to be proficient in Mongolian language habits, boldly intersperse, and quickly seize Shanzhou.

Indeed, no one is more suitable than him!

What should we do after capturing Shanzhou?

"The city of Shanzhou is not big, and there is not much food and grass. It may not be easy to stay there for a long time!"

At this time Deng Yu stood up, "Great Governor, although there is not much grain in Shanzhou, but across the Yellow River, there is Jiezhou on the opposite side. There is a salt pond there. In order to supply the salt workers with food and flowers, there must be grain. And because the Yellow River Blocked, the guards of the Yuan army are lax. As long as we can quickly capture Jiezhou, transport food and grass as quickly as possible, and return to Shanzhou. If we stick to it for two or three months, there will be no problem, and it will be enough to buy time for the superiors and break Chahan!"

Having said that, Feng Guoyong couldn't be moved anymore.

He pondered over and over again, and finally waved his fist, "Okay, that's it! Zhu Wenzheng, you are the main general, Deng Yu, Zhao Desheng, you will serve as his deputy, a total of 2000 soldiers, divided into twelve thousand households, disguised Change your disguise, insert it for me, and use the fastest speed to capture Shanzhou, save food and grass, and deal with the Yuan army!"

When the three generals heard this, they even bowed together. Even though they were overjoyed, they also felt pressured and their hearts were surging.

Starting from Songzhou and other places, the nearest distance is more than three hundred miles, and there are mountains and rivers in the middle, the road is difficult, and it is very difficult to walk in normal times, not to mention the difficulty of marching in a hurry.

Zhu Wenzheng could only order his subordinates to discuss countermeasures collectively.

Surprisingly, under Zhu Wenzheng's command, there are actually quite a few Mongols from Shaanxi and Gansu. They fought against Beisuo Red Turban in Nanyang and other places back then, and they are very familiar with the terrain.

In addition, Ding Pulang sent more than 200 old people with red scarves from Beisuo, including Bu Wangsan's cousin.

The two groups that were hostile in the past got together and wanted to serve as the guide of the Ming army together.

No matter how you look at this thing, how magical it is.

"Commander Zhu, it is because of this that I believe that we will win this battle!" Deng Yu said excitedly: "Looking at the world, only the superior has such a heart, can tolerate the world, and command heroes! No matter who they are, they are all for my use. May I ask, if we had killed all the Mongolian captives back then, how would we have achieved today's grand occasion? If it hadn't been for offering sacrifices to Peng Yingyu, how could Ding Pulang and others return to their hearts? The openness of all rivers is great, and this is the capital of our victory!"

Zhu Wenzheng thought so deeply, and nodded vigorously, but said again: "Actually, when I mentioned Shanzhou, I also thought of another hero. He has stuck to Shanzhou for more than a year. Let's make a discount, at least half a year."

Deng Yu pondered for a while, but he also thought of what Zhu Wenzheng said. He suddenly sighed, "I, I thought of the conversation between Zhang Xiang and Tang Guogong!"

At this time, Zhao Desheng also followed, thought for a while, and murmured: "Yes, why did the ancestors shelter their descendants? What can they leave us, nothing more than great rivers and mountains, as well as courage and methods when facing crises... ...The annals of history for thousands of years is the source of our endless wisdom!"

Zhu Wenzheng was staring ahead, then suddenly looked back at his soldiers, and suddenly drew out his saber, "Let's go!"

The soldiers under his command acted immediately. This special Ming army turned into more than a dozen small teams. Under the guidance of their respective guides, they interspersed decisively and went straight to the destination!

Right after they left, Feng Guoyong ordered [-] soldiers and horses to escort A Luwen, swaggeringly, and came towards Ruzhou with great momentum.

These are the two hands of one light and one dark.

With the help of Arwin, Chahan's attention was attracted, he let down his vigilance, and bought time for Zhu Wenzheng... This decisive battle of millions of people is about to kick off completely.

After Zhu Wenzheng successfully captured Shanzhou, Feng Guoyong would attack Ruzhou and threaten Luoyang to put pressure on the Yuan army.

And once a big battle breaks out here, the Shandong Ming army will march out of Jining with a thunderous momentum within a few days, and take the Guide Mansion directly.

Commander Xu Da's [-] elite troops have already gathered in Caozhou. If there is a big battle, Xu Da will lead his troops through the old course of the Yellow River and decisively attack Yifeng.

Chang Yuchun commanded the boat division and stormed Guide Mansion. The two armies marched westward from both sides of the Yellow River. They planned to join forces in Bianliang and fight against Chahan in Kaifeng.

Almost at the same time, Mao Gui led a reorganized Shandong Red Turban and marched northward to prevent the reinforcements of the Yuan court and protect the safety of the Ming army's flanks.

Hu Dahai leads the general reserve team, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang, as a supporting force, dispatched at any time to supplement consumption, make up for omissions... and as the last mobile force, decide the outcome of this battle.

More than 20 Shandong Ming troops, 100 to 3000 Nanyang Ming troops, as many as one million Shandong and Jianghuai civilians, and even [-] to [-] million Daming civilians are all in operation from top to bottom.

The huge war machine is operating in the most efficient way.Nanyang, Jining, Yingtian, Jiangzhou, Wuchang... and even Lingnan are all like this.

On the Ganjiang waterway, merchant ships were densely packed. Refined iron, grain, and even brown sugar sent from Lingnan were sent to Jinling one by one, and then transferred from Jinling to the north.

Zhu Ying has gained a firm foothold in Guangzhou and is starting to exert her strength.

In Yingtian City, Empress Ma also left the palace. She personally went to various workshops to inspect the production of military armor, inspected food, went to the clothing factory, and inspected military uniforms.

Especially go to the herbal medicine shop to check the gold sore medicine for soldiers.

Empress Ma, who has always been gentle and kind, beheaded five businessmen in a row within seven days, and the bloody heads were hung on the wall of Yingtian City.

Anyone who dares to pretend to be a good one and delay the military aircraft will directly destroy the Nine Clans!

The queen's thunderbolt method made everyone terrified.

Including the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, no one dared to say a word. Li Shanchang was trembling, and spent all day in Zhongshu Province, dealing with government affairs from morning to night, and sometimes he had to turn around.

Everyone understands a reason, if Zhang Xiang thinks you deserve to die, then you may not die, but you will definitely have a bad reputation for thousands of years, and life is better than death.

If His Majesty thinks you deserve to die, there is a high probability that you will die, but there is still a slight possibility that you can survive.

But if the empress thinks you deserve to die, not only will you die for sure, but there is a high probability that you will be infamous forever!

From this we can draw a conclusion that the deterrent power of Empress Ma is approximately equal to the sum of Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang.

In addition, there are two women who also performed very well. One is Jiang Nan from the Du Branch Bureau. She was ordered to check warehouses in various places and verify the amount of military rations. More than 20 officials fell in her hands.

The other is Han Xiuniang, a female worker from an ordinary family and a female official who passed the commercial examination by self-study. Because of her outstanding performance in Dayuling Shangguan, she was transferred to the Yingtian Taxation Department to mobilize private workshops, mobilize transportation capacity, and support logistics transportation.

Han Xiuniang raised 20 large and small ships in a short period of time, and recruited [-] cattle and horses. The work efficiency is so high that it is simply staggering.

Up to now, under the Ministry of Education, no one dares to underestimate the female officials... Although they are not many in number, they are a bit extraordinary in being able to break through the encirclement and hold power.

Even those old bureaucrats had to work hard.
